Syncing the Control Panel Product Directory
by Dennis Allison 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

Moving from Zope 2.6 to Zope 2.7.3 I pruned the installed Products to only those used and removed the cruft. Sad to say, the Control Panel Product listing still lists te old Products along with the new ones. Is there some easy way to refresh the list?

Overly large zexp files sizes
by zope＠dylanjay.com 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

Hi All, I've recently started having some problems with exporting objects. I'm finding that some objects seem to export the entire zodb along with them when exported. It seems random which objects export normally and which end up being the 150mb roughly corresponding to if the whole zodb had been exported. If I reimport it I get the object back as expected, no more no less. If I create a new Plone site for instance it will export at 150mb too, but selected older sites will export fine. Somehow something is hooking into everything such that pickling is causing everything to be dragged in. Anyone had this problem? Anyone with any debug ideas as I'm running out.

emailinzope and atemail checked in to collective
by Tim Hicks 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

Hello, I've just checked two very experimental products into the collective on sourceforge. 'emailinzope' is an SMTP server (based very heavily on Nikolay Kim's smtpserver code in the collective) that allows ZODB objects to have an influence over if and how messages are delivered into zope. 'atemail' is provides a set of objects that allow incoming messages from the emailinzope SMTP server to be received, managed and stored. There are no 'releases' of these products and I'm only announcing at this early stage to see if there are any people interested in functionality of this sort in the hope that code contributions may follow. The *very* pre-alpha nature of the code, the rather awkward requirements on the atemail product (zope 2.8.x and potentially a patched CMF) and the fact that access to the code is only via CVS checkout means that this announcement is only likely to be of interest to developers willing to get their hands a little dirty. Questions and feedback more than welcome. tim

how to get more verbose logging
by Jonas Meurer 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

hello, at trying to debug a problem that causes zope to crash, a more verbose logging would be very usefull. I already use the event.log, but up to now i had EVENT_LOG_SEVERITY at -100 (BLATHER), what worked quite well. now i raised the environment variable to -300, in the hope to get TRACE logging, as mentioned in the Zope 2.6 documentation. anyway, event.log still doesn't give logs lower than BLATHER. I'm not absolutely sure whether it should, but normally TRACE should already give some more information at starting the process, shouldn't it. even if i produce the problem that crashes zope, the lowest log is BLATHER, and i get no more verbose logging output. i tested this in zope 2.6.4 with python2.1 and python2.2, and both don't provide any new information. any suggestions? bye jonas

zlib.so problem installing Zope-2.7.3-0
by daroczy 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

Dear all, I have installed SUSE 9.1 then have upgraded to Python-2.3.4 . I have compiled it. Then I have compiled Zope-2.7.3-0. As result it has appeared the following message peter@linux:~/Documents/zope/Zope-2.7.3-0> ./configure --prefix=/opt/zope Configuring Zope installation Testing for an acceptable Python interpreter... Python version 2.3.4 found at /usr/local/bin/python The optimum Python version (2.3.4) was found at /usr/local/bin/python. The Python interpreter you are using does not appear to have the 'zlib' library module installed. For Zope to be able to run, you must install a Python interpreter which includes the zlib module, or install the zlib library into your Python interpreter manually. The file which represents the library is named 'zlib.so' (UNIX) or 'zlib.dll' (Windows) and is typically located in the 'lib-dynload' directory of your Python's library directory. Some Python packagers ship the zlib module as a separate installable binary. If you are using a system-provided Python installation, you may want to look for a 'python-zlib' package (or something like it) and install it to make the Python zlib module available to Zope. Run the configure script with the --ignore-zlib option to prevent this warning with the understanding that Zope will not start properly until you've installed the zlib module. Well, I have compiled zlib-1.2.1 ./configure -s; make test make install *** zlib test OK *** As I have recompiled Zope-2.7.3-0 I have received again the message you see above. I checked the /usr/lib/python/lib-dynload directory. The zlib.so is there. What have I made wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Finding things in Zope
by jlegris 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

Hello everyone I come from a Java Struts background and am new to Zope. So far, I am impressed with the facilities that Zope provides but I am finding acquisition to be downright counter-intuitive. The available documentation that I've read(Zope Book 2.6) seems only to scratch the surface. I would like to perform the very basic task of determining what object a method is associated with.Could someone please point me to a helpful reference? Regards, Joel Legris

Testing types in TAL
by Alec Mitchell 13 Nov '04

13 Nov '04

So I've run into a minor TAL problem recently. I'm trying to test to see if an object is a List or a Tuple (or more generally a sequence that isn't a string), but can't figure out a way. I've tried the following: python:isinstance(obj, list) doesn't work (it doesn't recoginze 'list' as a 'class, type or tuple of classes and types'), strangely: python:isinstance(obj, str) works ('str' is ok, but not 'list' or 'tuple'?). Also: python:list(obj) works despite the fact that 'list' is not recognized as a class! using: python:type(obj) is type([]) fails because type() is not recognized in TAL. using: python:hasattr(obj, '__iter__') fails also, though I'm not sure why (probably TAL doesn't bother with variables starting with '_'). And it's impossible to pull 'ListType' etc. in using modules['types'], because of the lack of security assertions on the 'types' module. There must be a way to do a simple type check for a tuple without a python script, no? Right now I'm using: tal:define="dictish nocall:obj/keys|nothing; listish python:not dictish and len(obj) and (len(obj[0]) != 1)" Which is far too kludgy, brittle, and plain incorrect for my liking. Thanks, Alec Mitchell

After I configured it, I could Search fror my user id no problem, but when I tried to add a New User, I got this error: AttributeError LDAPDelegate.insert: 'module' object has no attribute 'is_ldap_url'=20 Does this mean I configured LDAP wrong or ??? Thanks, Paul
